Here’s my block II. I think I’m gonna trade my upper for a Mk12 Mod 0. Currently building a Mk18/CQBR and would rather swap over optics onto that build. Thoughts? And excuse the crappy fixed mag. Unfortunately I live in Cali and only way to rock my setup legally

Besides the kac mount in this photo, what else would be a correct mount for a ranger spec block 2 with a vortex?
Also does anyone know if the reticle used was the jm-1 or mrad?  Attached File |

Also does anyone know if the reticle used was the jm-1 or mrad? I seem to remember it is the MRAD reticle, but I could very well be wrong. I'm nearly certain that scope mount is the Knight's in Taupe color, due to it's haedware and the location of its hardware. A very similar mount is used on the M110 rifle. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/388771/5B9487D8-156D-416B-AAB5-EFF593E15AB5_jpe-2417570.JPG |

I haven't had a problem with them, except the first time I ordered, they cancelled my order and didn't say why. I emailed them and they emailed back that I hadn't checked, "payment by credit card". I did that next time, but I think they made that the default now. When I sign in, the payment by credit card is already checked / blocked in now. The email I got said they were going to change it, because too many people missed it. It's just little block that is filled with gray instead of a check mark or black. Did you get an out of stock cancellation? They also require some proof of something now for first time customers that they didn't have when I registered there. |

 I got a surprise package from Brownells that I thought I cancelled since they did not have an ETA. Brownells does not currently show stripped Colt SOCOM barrels on the website. I've always wanted a Block II so here's my excuse I guess. Gas block - likely going with a Badger Mk12. Are the Block II uppers pinned? Taper pin or coiled pin? Flash hider - What is correct that is not unobtanium like a 4p? I'm tempted to go with a 6315KM to run my Sandman but that may be blasphemy Lower will not be clone correct but it will be an early Daniel Defense M4 Carbine 5.56 lower with an older Geissele SSA-E. Probably use a SOPMOD stock and A2 grip. I have an tan EXPS3-0 and a Vortex Razor HD 1-6 for optics. |

Am I correct in thinking the barrel nut is all I need to send when I have the barrel pinned and welded? Figure I can take care of that while hunting for a RIS II. Obviously need to include the gas block and muzzle device.

And when the gas block doesn't want to come off, cut barrel in half (5 secs with portable band saw), as I need the DD barrel nut to reuse. Broke my MAGPULL BEV block (ear) trying to hammer one off. Got spare low profile gas blocks to replace anyway. Into the trash bin they go.

From my humble work bench... progress
  Barrel nut is just hand tight. Dimpled the barrel and installed the DD gas block without fuss. It was nice the gas block came with Loctite 262 as it saved me from having to order some. Fit was perfect; would not go on dry but a little CLP it slid right on. I may end up using that upper. Bought it from DSA a while back and if the Google machine is right it's from a government contract run. Anchor Harvey forge mark, M4 dog bone over the gas tube hole, and black T marks. Barrel fits tight in it too. Need to decide on the muzzle device and keep my eye out for a RIS II. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By jmh556: Looks good, you're almost there! What jig did you use to dimple your barrel for the Lo pro gas block? I have a few barrels that I would like to dimple myself. I used an SLR and quite frankly would not recommend it. First it's aluminum so you should probably use wood blocks when clamping it in the vise. Second if you clamp it in the vise so it's vertical it's on the rounded edges of the jig and wants to roll. The SLR also does not have the .420 spacing on the MK12 gas block. I worked around that by locating the first hole off the gas port and then used the gas block and screws to mark the front dimple. Lined the SLR up on the screw mark for the front hole and dimpled. It worked okay. |

Route out a groove for the other side (gas tube) to sit in a section of 2x4 and place under drill press. Work barrels are all dimpled already. CD For that purpose, and lacking a “bad low profile gas block,” I bought a KAK dimpling jig. The only “specific” part of this jig is the journal diameter of 0.750”. It has various screw spacing options, and it came with a spot drill to do the dimples with. They have ‘em for other journal sizes too, but I only needed the 0.750 one. Not bad for $25… |
